21st Century Necromancer
Chapter 874 - 868 Surprise

Chen Yu was in a great mood today. When he left for work this morning, Jounouchi Hiromi had specially prepared breakfast for him, and after a tender, intimate moment together, they left the house. She had also promised him a surprise for later in the day.

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi mention a surprise, Chen Yu was both surprised and filled with anticipation.

Although he had no idea what kind of surprise she had planned, Chen Yu had a hunch that it might be a gift.

Over the past few days, Jounouchi Hiromi had been subtly probing him about the things he liked, and Chen Yu had already sensed her intention.

In their relationship, although it was Jounouchi Hiromi who had pursued him at first—often bringing him homemade lunches—strictly speaking, she hadn't really given him any significant gifts, let alone surprises.

After they officially got together and later married, it was mostly Chen Yu who was giving gifts to Jounouchi Hiromi. As for her, she seldom had anything to give him in return.

So this time, with Jounouchi Hiromi voluntarily planning a gift to surprise him, it genuinely made Chen Yu feel both happy and delighted.

But it seemed that Jounouchi Hiromi wanted to maintain the element of surprise, as she didn't reveal what the surprise was, merely asking him to be patient and wait.

Despite his curiosity about what she had prepared, Chen Yu managed to suppress it and focus on work in his office, patiently waiting for Jounouchi Hiromi to deliver the surprise.

Interestingly, it seemed like everyone in the General Surgery Department already knew about it. Yet, since Jounouchi Hiromi had asked them to keep quiet, all they did was express envy toward Chen Yu without spilling any details.

In the face of such restraint, Chen Yu merely smiled. While he was certain he could get the answer by asking around, he saw no reason to spoil his wife's meticulous arrangement.

Fortunately, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't make him wait too long. As lunchtime approached, she knocked on the door of his office.

Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi step inside with her now rounded belly and slightly hindered movements, Chen Yu quickly sprang up to assist his wife.

"Honey, you're not moving as freely now. You shouldn't be walking around like this. If you need me, you can just call, and I'll come to you." Helping her settle onto the couch, Chen Yu spoke with visible concern.

"It's just a few steps! I'm not so incapacitated that I can't walk at all yet! Besides, it's good for me to get light exercise during pregnancy. You're worrying too much!" While Jounouchi Hiromi enjoyed Chen Yu's care immensely, she couldn't help but feel he was being overly cautious.

But this wasn't the main reason for her visit. After exchanging a few words, Jounouchi Hiromi finally said, "Honey, do you remember I mentioned giving you a surprise when we left the house this morning?"

"Of course, I remember! I've been looking forward to it all day!" When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Then come with me. It's ready now!" Jounouchi Hiromi stood up as she spoke, her face full of joy. She pulled Chen Yu up from the couch and led him toward the door.

Allowing Jounouchi Hiromi to guide him, the few doctors who were already anticipating a spectacle also followed behind. Soon, the group arrived at the hospital entrance.

At the entrance, a flatbed truck stood parked, unloading a vehicle that was still covered in a car cover.

"A car? Is this the surprise you mentioned, Hiromi?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow in genuine surprise. He hadn't expected Jounouchi Hiromi to give him a car.

To be honest, Chen Yu did like cars. But since he hadn't really felt the need for one before, he'd never seriously considered getting one. Still, the idea of having his own car thrilled and delighted him.

So when he realized that Jounouchi Hiromi's surprise was indeed a car, he truly felt the joy of the unexpected.

"I didn't know what type of car you prefer, so I asked the people at the dealership for recommendations. The client manager there was the same middle-aged man who raced with you on the Bayshore Route last time. He said this car is really comfortable to drive. I sat in it and found it very smooth, without any jarring bumps." Standing beside him, Jounouchi Hiromi explained with a smile, then gave him a little nudge. "Aren't you going to uncover it, honey?"

Encouraged by her nudge, Chen Yu stepped forward toward the covered car. Around him, everyone was eagerly watching, waiting for him to unveil it.

Feeling the weight of their anticipation, Chen Yu let out a helpless laugh, but his eyes were already carefully examining the car's outline.

Even though it was still covered, the sleek, streamlined shape hinted at elegant curves beneath, reminiscent of a veiled bride waiting for her moment of unveiling.

Without further hesitation, Chen Yu gripped the car cover and pulled it off, revealing the deep blue finish and flowing lines of the car beneath.

At first glance, Chen Yu was immediately drawn to the car's design. The smooth curves, minimalist style, and understated yet profound aura captivated him.

Although he wasn't the type to pay much attention to cars, he still recognized the emblem on the hood—a shield bearing the image of a prancing horse. Unable to hide his astonishment, he turned back toward Jounouchi Hiromi. "A Porsche? This must have cost a fortune!"

"Not that much. The base car cost just over 20 million yen. I asked the manager to recommend some custom modifications, which added a few million more. Altogether, it was around 26 million yen," Jounouchi Hiromi replied nonchalantly, as though discussing an ordinary expense—even though it was equivalent to her annual salary as a doctor under normal circumstances.

As she spoke, she pulled a key from her pocket and handed it to Chen Yu. "Honey, why don't you try sitting inside?"

"Thank you, darling!" Chen Yu took the key, and in a surge of emotion, he hugged Jounouchi Hiromi and kissed her on the cheek. He then opened the car door and seated himself inside.

The seats were incredibly comfortable, and the luxurious interior made Chen Yu relax completely as he leaned back against the cushion, basking in the sensation.

Lightly gripping the steering wheel with both hands, Chen Yu felt an immediate sense of connection with the car. He hadn't even started it yet, but he already felt confident in his ability to control it, as though it were a gentle, dependable steed.

After stepping out of the car, Chen Yu embraced his wife once again, overflowing with gratitude. He truly loved this gift.

However, just as everyone around them was staring in envy at the couple and Chen Yu was preparing to drive the car to the underground parking lot, a convoy of black sedans rolled up to the hospital entrance.

A group of black-suited bodyguards emerged and formed a protective circle. Finally, an elegantly dressed elderly woman stepped out of one of the cars, with Becky, whom Chen Yu had encountered before, standing respectfully behind her.
